“I see greatness in this company, but I also see opportunities to do better. Much better.”
These were the words of Boeing chief executive David Calhoun on his first day in the job, back in January 2020.
He was appointed in the aftermath of two tragic crashes involving Boeing’s newest and fastest selling airliner, the 737 Max, in which 346 people died.

The company will also be subjected to increased oversight and new safety assessments, following a clampdown announced by the new head of the FAA, Mike Whitaker.
The credibility of the aerospace giant, and its boss, are on the line following another serious incident involving an airliner from the 737 Max family.
No-one was seriously hurt when an unused door blew off an Alaska Airlines 737 Max 9 last week shortly after take-off. But it could have been much, much worse.
Inspections have already revealed loose bolts and fixings on other planes of the same specification – raising questions about the way they were built.
Mr Calhoun told staff this week that Boeing would acknowledge its “mistake” and would approach the investigation with “100% and complete transparency”.
